They are handy when you need to break off the old nut that has frozen/corroded on. Yes you can get it off with work and other tools and these aren't 100% for that but worth keeping in the van. Van tool not bag tool.
These things are absolutely priceless, particularly this offset version. I've used my strike plate slotted screwdriver and hammer only when necessary, but in general I hate it, especially if working in energized boxes; it requires 2 hands on one object. Using a locknut wrench allows you to use your other hand as needed. If you're not gonna use the right tool, you're doing it wrong, in my opinion (electrician apprentice 😅)
Got something like these while in school! Never liked pulling them out while working, but theyre mighty handy when pulling down old conduit!
Comparing them to the pliers and screwdriver is a unequal match. Stick with the driver pliers.
There's some nice ratcheting wrenches for locknuts. Probably what I would go for if doing this work daily.
I got em for removing old locknuts, for the price can’t beat it
Just something else taking up space in my bag.
Pretty cool. Seems more like a DIY kind of tool. I already have enough tools on my belt. I don't need some tiny thing falling out and getting lost when I already have a driver and kliens on my hip
I can say from experience using this in the hvac field is a no go. I’ll just stick to a flat head and my chanel locks and give a few taps to break the Chinese money free.
I use my cobras to get it done
What’s a screwdriver, I see two hammers 😂
Priced too cheap to be a gimmick
